I am having problems with my JVC GR-SXM920 I get the EO4 error code and it says to remove and replace battery which I have done several times. The main battery is fully charged and I replaced the Lithium battery. The eye piece will not work but the lcd viewer will the focus does work for about 30 seconds. The camera is about 6 years old and has about 15 hours of total use on it any help would be appreciated Thanks

HI SIR
the fault is caused either by the take up or supply reel in the camera they are not rotating when the tape is inserted.maybe A defective tape or hung reel brake can cause this issue.or maybe a bad loosen guide of the tape path is lame , Try replacing the tape, if this does not resolve the problem you may need to seek professional service to have the reels checked.
thanx and plz try to rate and remember i am here just to help u

Common problem and one that requires Professional service. There is cold solder on the cylinder drive PCB that needs to be re-flowed with solder. We can help: Contact Us at AVRepair com
Eject tape leaving cover open and remove battery. Re-insert battery and re-insert tape also leaving cover open. Keep repeating this process until eo4 message disappears. This worked for my GR-DVL100e after about four repeats. After getting your camcorder operational, they say it is good practice not to leave tape in camcorder when not in use.
Que puedo hacer cuando me salga este mensaje, porque la camara no funciona, sale un mensaje de safeguard o cleaner ,

·http://www.camcorderinfo.com/bbs/index.php ·JVC camcorders ·Tap o the side to fix your problems -only, only, only use the more expensive JVC tapes. They keep their tension far better than cheaper brands. Also, they won't rub off their oxide coatings on the heads as easily, avoiding the 'clogging' of the heads (which thereby requires constant cleaning-further damaging the heads). -when and if you do get E- errors do a complete rewind or fast forward to the end of the tape in order to pull out tape slack. Then remove battery and tape for a while. If still screwed, then yes, sharply tap (not hard!) on the closed tape door. That may reposition those tiny switches that I mentioned earlier and get you going again. -NEVER, EVER, EVER, leave tapes in the machine when not in use....it creates problems for the heads and the mechanisms. -Don't leave the battery on the camera when not in use for extended periods of time. It can create problems with respect to resetting the computer controlled logic. -there are little switches and interlocks that provide electrical feedback about the mechanical status of things to the main processor of the camera (ie. tape/no tape in camera, door open/closed etc). Over time, the mechanics get out of adjustment because of usage, humidity and certainly rough handling. So: treat the mechanisms very, very, very delicately. Don't use/store the camera in humid conditions, hot conditions or very cold conditions. Certainly don't leave it in your car---ever! -get the camera "cleaned and ajusted" regularly to avoid these problems. (I know...more $$$$) ·-I keep bags of dessicant in an insulated camera bag with the camera to maintain dryness and optimal temperatures during storage.
Something is causing either the take up or supply reel in the camera not to rotate when the tape is inserted. A defective tape or hung reel brake can cause this issue. Try replacing the tape, if this does not resolve the problem you may need to seek professional service to have the reels checked.
Good luck my friend,
